Pre-installation

The most time-consuming part of a TIBCO iProcess Engine installation is the collection of environment information and parameters. This section helps you complete this process.

Pre-Installation Tasks Checklist provides a checklist of the tasks that you might have to perform before installing the iProcess Engine. The table includes the following details:

whether the iProcess Files-install Owner, iProcess Schema-install Owner, or DBA user needs to perform the task. See Organization Roles for more information about iProcess Files-install Owner, iProcess Schema-install Owner, and DBA.
the status of a task, depending on whether you are installing a new iProcess Engine or upgrading an existing one. There are four possible task statuses:
Required —You must perform this task before installing iProcess Engine.
Check — You may need to perform this task before installing iProcess Engine, depending on your installation scenario.
Optional — You may want to perform this task before installing iProcess Engine, but it is not essential.
N/A — You can install iProcess Engine. without performing this task.

For detailed information about each task, see Pre-installation Tasks.

Tip 

You may want to print this table as a useful quick reference when performing the pre-installation tasks. The Done? column in the table provides a place for you to tick off tasks that have been done.
